Case Management Law and Legal Definition

Case managment in legal terms refers to the schedule of proceedings
involved in a matter. There are various stages in litigation, such as the
filing of a complaint, answers, the discovery process (interrogatories,
subpoenae, depostions, etc.), and motions that occur before a trial is
held or a decision is rendered. Each stage of the process has a scheduled
timeframe in which it must be filed with the court or completed. When a
complaint is filed and a case is assigned to a judge, the judge will often
set forth a schedule for the submission or completion of the relevant pleadings,
court appearances, and other matters.
